IMPROVEMENT IN HAT-S`WEATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 220,744,

dated October '11, 1879 application filed June 14, 1879.

a new and improved mode of attaching a strip/ of oiled silk or leather to a hat-sweat by m -ai's of metal clips, staples, eyelets, orrivf. s, at such distances apart as may be fou d most convenient, of which the following i a speciication.

This mode of fastening can be done by a machine more rapidly and cheaply than by sewing, and is not liable to get apart by breaking of a thread. l t

To give the sweat a finished appearance we prefer to fold one edge ot' the strip of oiled l silk or leather over a reed or wire, then lay the by the metal staples, clips, eyelets, or rivets, close to the reed, and at suitable distances apart, so as to leave the sweat and the strip securely fastened. -The sweat is then turned over and put into the hat with the metal fastening-next to the body, so that they cannot be seen when in the hat.

To enable others to make and use our invention or improvement, reference is made to the accompanying drawing.

Figure l represents a section of a nished hat-sweat. Y

A is the leather or sweat. B is the piece of oiled silk or other material. C is the metal fastenings, and D is the reed or wire.

The strips may be of any suitable color or width required to give the sweat a handsome t appcaran ce.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The metal astenings to secure the strip of oiled silk or other material to the sweat, substanti ally as herein set forth.
